So I took the car to my local indy and had them replace the fluid & filter, as well as drain the torque converter. There was a lot of metal shavings on the filter and pan. My phone was dead and was not able to take a pic but there was enough on the filter to scoop up with a spoon. He confirmed my transmission was on its way out but he recommended a rebuild rather then a swap with a used one. It drives a little better on the street, gained 5mph on the hills but my 78 will still blast threw them faster then this. I figure ill drive it until it dies and save up for a rebuild.
